Please support my challenge to the Arctic Circle in aid of Debra Ireland. Debra Ireland are a charity that help children with a severe,rare,genetic skin condition known as EB-Epidermolysis Bullosa(Butterfly skin) The children are born with no collagen holding their skin together; their whole bodies have to be covered in bandages to protect their skin and every second day they have to undergo a 3½ hour dressing change to protect their delicate skin. The slightest touch can cause blisters all over their body. There are only 300 people with this skin condition in Ireland and sadly 3 children under the age of 8 passed away this year.I have met some amazing people with EB and I have been truly touched by their bravery and outlook on life.  

Therefore..in March next, 2018, I will be undertaking a very big challenge. 18 of us brave Irish women are participating in “The Arctic Challenge” for Debra Ireland. The challenge will involve surviving the extreme cold of the Arctic region, learning survival skills in this harsh environment, ski skills, pulling a sled through deep snow, camping out overnight in sub-zero temperatures etc. I have to raise over €5,000 for this challenge - all of which will go to Debra Ireland.This will make a HUGE difference to the charity as unfortunately Debra Ireland receive no state funding and therefore rely on contributions such as this. Money raised goes towards nursing and medical care.

PLEASE PLEASE support my challenge to the Arctic and help those with EB in Ireland.

Thank you,Sarah x
